Episode 17 - Elvis, And Saturday Night Live (The Other Elvis) - AKA APRIL FOOLS!

A few months after The King passed away - a different Elvis, from the other side of the pond, created quite a name for himself on live television. During a performance on December 17th, 1977 as the musical guests on Saturday Night Live, Elvis Costello and the Attractions stopped playing their "approved" song in favor of a completely different song.

Though banned from Saturday Night Live, Elvis Costello immediately became a household name in The United States.
